Dengeki Daisy

Dengeki Daisy (Japanese: 電撃デイジー, Hepburn: Dengeki Deijī; lit.'Electric Shock Daisy') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kyousuke Motomi. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Betsucomi magazine from May 2007 to October 2013. Shogakukan later collected the individual chapters into 16 bound volumes under the Flower Comics imprint. Viz Media licensed the series for an English-language release in North America. An anime television series adaptation produced by Studio Deen is set to premiere in 2027.

When Teru's older brother died, she was left with little more than a cellphone containing the address of an elusive character called Daisy, whom Teru's brother said would watch over her. Daisy became Teru's pillar of strength over the next few years, as he sent her encouraging words through his phone, whether inspiring or mere chatter, as she faces her life alone.

One afternoon, after bullies from the student council are mysteriously driven away, Teru accidentally breaks a school window, which results in her working for the grouchy, cruel school janitor named Tasuku Kurosaki. As Teru begins working for the unlikable school janitor, her feelings begin to surpass that of master and servant and she begins to question Daisy's true identity. Thus begins an unlikely friendship between a 16-year-old high school girl and a sly but smart 24-year-old man. As time goes by, the two become close and Teru falls for Kurosaki. What she does not know is that he has feelings for her too, but cannot return them for a number of reasons, the most important reason being that Kurosaki feels he caused her brother's death.

Written and illustrated by Kyousuke Motomi, Dengeki Daisy was serialized in Shogakukan's monthly shōjo manga magazine Betsucomi from the June 2007 issue (released on May 12, 2007) to the November 2013 issue (released on October 12, 2013). The individual chapters were collected into 16 tankōbon (bound volumes) by publisher Shogakukan.

The series is licensed for an English-language release in North America by Viz Media. It is also licensed for regional language releases in Taiwan by Ever Glory Publishing, in France by Kazé Manga, and in Italy by Flashbook Edizioni.

An anime television series adaptation was announced by Aniplex on June 9, 2026. The series will be produced by Studio Deen and directed by Souta Ueno, with Sawako Hirabayashi writing scripts and handling series composition, Ayaka Murakami designing the characters, and Masaru Yokoyama composing the music. It is set to premiere in 2027. Crunchyroll will stream the series.

In the 2011 About.com Manga Readers' Choice Awards, Dengeki Daisy was voted as the best new shōjo manga series of 2010 by North American fans.
